was poking around battery history in spare parts today and my top network usage is labeled as "0". when i click on it i get an error "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" fc anyone know what this is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
The so is too new for that verdict. I like theme both really! The s seems faster than the epic for sure, the music is louder on the epic. The s's battery is 100 percent better
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Don't expect 4g to work with the ports sammy decided to not release wimax modules with the source :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Yup. That's exactly why I froze it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
So what PRL are you sporting? I'm thinking about going with 1115 so I can force roam with 3G, but I have everything working so well right now, I'm kind of nervous to mess with anything!

I'm also thinking about going back to the EB13 modem (running EB13 based ROM, 1.0.2 SRF now) as I only put the EC05 modem on, but haven't updated the ROM.

Decisions decisions...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
60677. I went back to stock EC05 and stripped it of SNS then froze DRM and System Update. Works pretty well.

I don't know how 1115 would be. I haven't even downloaded it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I tried to look for this, but couldn't find anyway to freeze services.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just press it, should be there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
pressing isn't the problem, I can't find the services.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What app are you looking for?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i'm looking for dock service and sanservice. I tried to search in filter, but couldn't find them. want to try to freeze them. although i'd much rather use sdx stock uninstaller to backup and remove them if anyone knows the apks. i looked for an apk for san service which is samsung updates and couldn't find it. I got rid of the sns apks.

especially since if I freeze the stuff, i'm pretty sure you can't restore it without the pro version so its a one way trip. my battery life has been awesome lately, phone running better than ever, its just a pain to keep going in and ending those two services.

yesterday I unplugged at 7:30, left work at 6:00pm with like 62% left, thats a record for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
It's called System Updates in Titanium and the apk is DeviceManagement.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
do you know what the dock service is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Thanks .sir :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
I'm still getting intermittent lockups and when I get near 15% battery, it becomes unstable. Also, I find my phone in a state where I can't get video and the red led is solid... resulting in a battery pull.

Flashed, wiped so many times and even flashed the genocide kernel, as well as a nandroid backup and restore...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
May just be a lack of battery power honestly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
And VisionKernel should be tried first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pachina:
Force close

all my apps keeps FC for no reason

and any texting app does it all the time
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You have data corruption. Wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pachina:
how does this happen
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
From an improper shutdown. Sounds like you may want to turn on journaling in the future.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pachina:
**** yeah

it died

Thanks for the help
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, and there's a button for that now ;) Let me know if you need anything else! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
didnt' get a response before... can someoen check spare parts and see what is at the top of their network usage? mine just says 0 and force closes when i click on it
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's root access. I think that is simply a visual bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
ok got it... guess i'll just ignore that line then. my battery seems to be ok even though android system has been supposedly using the sensors the whole time i've been unplugged. 11+ hours and the battery says its at 43%... although my battery reading may be off

question about that... if the battery is reading wrong, will the phone just die at an odd time? or will the reading drop quickly until its what its supposd to be? i'm curious if i shoudl enable journaling now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you're worried about data corruption, just enable journaling regardless of what the battery is doing :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I think I had this and found it to be the set cpu settings. I think I was on conservative and on deemand fixed it
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Not a clue, sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
Try fix permissions too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bitserve:
I wish I would have checked this thread a few days ago to chime in on mystica555's rant. He starts out referring to a shell as bash and he's consistently getting a file system check and mount check confused with journaling, and then it gets worse in the mostly wrong details.

I think that journaling should be enabled, and I've enabled it on my phone. With journaling, fsck isn't needed on each boot or even after unclean shutdowns, and would normally only be useful in situations that would require someone that knows that they're doing. Also, having journaling is way better than not having it enabled and running fsck after each unclean shutdown.

BTW, the apparent default journaling mode is ordered, not writeback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Im running this fine with vision kernel. However wired tether doesn't work. Are there any work arounds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Not at the moment, no.

Wow, this is disappointing. I used to have an Epic but moved to Verizon to get the Thunderbolt not even 2 weeks ago and they have Roms getting updated rapidly and new things pop up almost daily. My cousin just got an Epic and I wanted to flash him a fresh new rom and I see that there's been almost no progress since I sold my Epic. I don't mean to come off as an ass. I'm just disappointed that there are no new roms except for a broken 2.3 rom and Cyanogenmod is still not fully functional when the Thunderbolt has everything on Cm7 working except 4gLte and it's a much newer phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I haven't had a device for over a month, RjsShadows. I am already working on 1.1.1, but it's extremely difficult developing without a device.

Hang in there. You're going to love what's coming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RjsShadows:
Thank you for your quick response! I'm looking forward to it. You were always my favorite rom developer for the Epic. :]
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Actually bash is a real linux shell - it stands for bjourne again shell. (Bjourne may be misspelled, it's the last name of the guy who created Bjourne shell, and bash is an improved version if that shell)

Also, he didn't mix up fsck and journaling - why would he argue that one was better than the other if he thought they were the same thing?

Finally, he was suggesting fsck because it would invoke fewer writes than a full restore, thereby extending the life of the flash memory.

Just because you aren't aware of something, doesn't mean it's wrong or fake
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Bash stands for Bourne-again Shell and is the FOSS successor to the Almquist shell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Thanks for the clarification, k0 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
One of the phones you mentioned is manufactured by Samsung and that explains every issue you mention. Developers are having a hard time navigating the ****heap that Samsung apparently believes passes for internals, and without current source code being released they have to take their best guess at it. Ever sit outside a garage and try guessing the color of the car inside by listening to how it sounds? That's what the development teams are faced with. Except the car isn't a car, it's a damn Schwinn with a boombox duct taped to the handlebars blasting out audio taken from the back end of a '71 Stingray, but they don't know that since they can't actually see inside the garage. Every once in a while some douchebag from Korea strolls in the side door and flips the tape and everyone has to start all over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:

[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
That my friend is an excellent explanation of the state of things!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I seem to be getting worse battery than the stock rom. It was my understanding that this ROM makes battery life better for most people.

I'm not overclocked. I cleared the 3 caches before install. I have not reset my battery in recovery, but it's my understanding that it won't affect battery life. I've been running this ROM for a week now. Leaving my phone alone, I lose about 10% an hour with this ROM.

I've read pages and pages of this thread. Still not sure if it can be fixed.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
have you checked in spare parts to see if anything is keeping yoru phone awake? or if you have the gallery bug?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
did you wipe before installing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
whats the gallery bug ..i lose about the same amount per hr ...unless im totally not using my fone at all ..like its sleep in my pocket
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I dont know spare parts very well. But from clicking around, everything looks ok. not sure how to check for a gallery bug or not. I do know that gallery is not listed under my task manager.

I'll try reading a bit on spare parts more. I just rebooted to recovery and cleared by battery stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I wiped each of the caches 3 times. I followed a youtube video that installed the boot loader and syndicate rom. That video said to clear all of the 3 times. I did that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
open spare parts and go to Battery History. look at the time running.. should be around 30% unless you are banging around on your phone alot. click where it says other usage... choose partial wake status... the programs on the top of the list should not have a high amount of blue... if they do they may be keeping your phoen awake.. click on them and see how long the yare using the phone. click again on the top menu and go to "sensor usage" and see if the gallery is using the sensors when the phone is asleep... it should be using nothign to almost nothing.

do all of these after the phone has been unplugged for a while or you will not get good stats
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
I had battery drain until I realized account syncing had been turned back on. Once I turned it off battery life has been amazing. Even better after overclock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
how often were u syncing? i've never turned syncing off and my battery life is well over 12 hours a day
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
do you get a prize if you're the first post on the 1000th page?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
It was set to like 15 minutes or something insane.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
Thanks. I'll give that a try. If not I read k0nane said to try eb13 modem. At least I got things to try now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, the EB13 modem helps a bunch of people :)

What do you guys have planned as the upgrade process for updating to .1 when it comes out?

I'm a big fan of in-line upgrades without a wipe if that's possible
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
I am a big fan of the stock messaging app, but I was just curious... Is there a way a developer could make a setting to change the vibrate notification style? I don't know if this is possible or not.

Also, is there a reason that you made it so facebook couldn't be updated?

OH, by the way, this rom is AMAZING!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
So I tried the CIQ removal in the form of a patch .zip which removes / replaces files as necessary. It booted but then it was just FC loops of the acore process. I'm going to guess this is because of patching a current install.

It needs a clean install I'm guessing?

Great work on the kernal and rom!! I want to try the kernal, however have a few questions:

2. Does Twilight zone kernal have the video fix and sports mode fix?

3. Does Twilight zone kernal have the wire tether fix?

That is all Thanks for all your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
Yes and I used your Kernel. Also flushed Dalvik (just in case).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrhocuspocus:
does this rom have no journaling mod?

also is it okay to restore data only after flash with cw3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes, yes, and definitely yes! Both TCPMSS, and the ADB conflict bugfix (our exclusive!) have been added.

Come find us in IRC a bit later.

It does, along with all of the other FS tweaks to give you the highest possible IO performance.

We do not suggest restoring data from Nandroid - EVER! See the backup details in the second post.

ohh, boy. i havea problem. i had rfs and i tried to flash this on top and it did eveerything but when i reboot it doesnt load. also when i was flashing it. the upackinh groceries seems to go by in aa second and doesnt load the rom. but kernal does load. any suggestions? i
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
That means you either didn't wipe data or you need to clear data in apps that are fc ing. Its not the rom. This rom runs like the wettest dream..........

FROZEN EPIC
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I think that some people might be getting force closes because they are pulling the battery while the phone is on. I think that was the cause of my force closes. Just reflashed so we will see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Syntax42:
I just finished installing and I am a bit disappointed. I did not get near the benchmark scores posted previously.

My Quadrant score was 2288.

For reference, the Quadrant score posted here was 2423.

My Smartbench score was 1248/2927.

Others reported scores as high as 1514/3394 or 1523/3444 from the picture on post 2.

Do I need to have SetCPU to get good performance out of my phone?

EDIT: I found SetCPU here and re-ran the benchmarks with the default profile.

Quadrant: 2297

Smartbench: 1473/3343

It looks like it definitely helped, so I ran it with the performance profile enabled.

Quadrant: 2263

Smartbench: 1481/3430

Here's hoping I finally found a ROM that can run Dungeon Defenders!

Hopefully my bluetooth issues and that phone off battery issue sort out eventually. Aside from those, this is perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I spent about six hours working on it last night, and I've put in about three hours so far today. I won't stop until it's fixed.

It's a very, very, very obscure bug, related to the CIQ removal process. I have to trace my way through the AOSP source to figure out exactly what is calling what, with what data, from where.

Question

Have you restored apps & data with titanium backup? Just apps? Just Data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Given the battery info posted by you, myself, and fishfuzz, what I am wondering is not how many hours of total use people are getting from the phone -- because "use" is so varied. What I think is the real question is how many hours of "Display" "Time On" people can get. From the data from the three of us, it seems to me that the phone is good for about 4 hours of "Display" "Time on" while unplugged. Is there anyone out there getting more than 4 hours of "Display" "Time on"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
One more question: when you say 14hrs, are you using the number from the Cell Standby? Or is this what it said as the number of hours since unplugged? The Cell Standby numbers seem to go all over the map, and very seldomly (at least for me) actually relate to anything real that I can find.
